[PATCH v3] Use io_uring_register_ring_fd() to skip fd operations

[Sam Li]

Linux recently added a new io_uring(7) optimization API that QEMU
doesn't take advantage of yet. The liburing library that QEMU uses
has added a corresponding new API calling io_uring_register_ring_fd().
When this API is called after creating the ring, the io_uring_submit()
library function passes a flag to the io_uring_enter(2) syscall
allowing it to skip the ring file descriptor fdget()/fdput()
operations. This saves some CPU cycles.
